Last night was rocketry night as part of the work towards the astronautics badge. A big thanks to Sean, Alan and Paul, three RSOs (Range Safety Officers) from Midland Rocketry who came over and helped us and talked a bit about the hobby.
We glued together 24 Catapult Rocket Kits and 7 scouts, painted 22.5 completed rockets and about 2.4 scouts and 1 tree, and launched 23 rockets! Great evening except for one badly bruised foot due to flying table (its never the ones in the Risk Assessment) Hope it's feeling a bit better by now and thankfully it was only a bruising and no broken bones....
If you want to find out more about rocketry check out www.midlandrocketry.org.uk or come along to one of the launch days with me.
Here's a pic of Hawk2 (22nd launch of the evening)
